Finally, at TPAC, when we discussed working on DOM Core and DOM 3 Events

into DOM Core in a thinly-veiled attempt to remove them completely
(rather than simply deprecate them as is done in DOM3 Events), and all
the browser vendors disagreed with that. Claiming otherwise is simply
an attempt to rewrite history.

And no, I did not necessarily want to remove mutation events. If they
remain implemented they need to be defined. And the best place for that is
by the methods that cause them to be fired. Those methods are defined by
DOM Core. That was my argument.
